Chapter 89"What do you mean by price?" she asked Hmm.. Lucas sighed"You have started again, tell me the price now""The price is in my room, can you go and get it," Lucas said Sheila looked at him with scornful eyes and she smiled, she felt Lucas had missed her but just pretending. "Why the room? Or do you want to go for a talk like my dad and mom did" she teased. Lucas coughed out and searched Sheila's face. He began to laugh sarcastically and his mouth was agape after the laugh. They were both adults who understood the body language of Mr Blake, no one needed to tell them what he was up to whenever he called his wife for a talk, if nothing like intimacy happened, cuddling and caressing would happen. Lucas was short of words, he looked at Sheila like someone whose heart was stabbed with a word, what a naughty child was he? Why would she be making jest of her parents? He told Sheila never to mind about knowing about the "Price" that would tell her some other day, it seemed She
Chapter 90Lucas blamed himself for what he did for Sheila, he was scared that Sheila might not have the strength to maintain the power. He was ready to put everything on himself because Sheila was on the verge of being hurt, he could not stand anything bad to happen to her because she was her helper. He watched her till she slept off and found his way out of the room. Celebrity is free to use force whenever they like and whenever they are going out, but her name had not been recorded in an influential book because no brand had reached out for her to show her face in their product or present at a big banquetHe made a phone call to Jasper to provide some of his gang to watch over Sheila, he told them they would work in two ways until she was safe. "Hello, Jasper" "Hello boss""Can you provide me with unfamiliar faces that can watch after my woman""Yes, boss"He explained how they would work in order not to be identified by Coopers and Lydia. Cooper's family knew he used Jasper, if
Chapter 91Lucas was puzzled, warmth coursed through his spine when he saw Dr Ken, he didn't know what to say, why would the whole head doctor come because of him? He thought he was not that important that the head doctor would show up at the entrance of Sheila's house. He had never rendered any help or given him money apart from the one given him when he treated him. Dr. Ken proved to him that humanity still exists. "Good evening sir" Lucas greeted "Good evening Lucas, where is she? "Dr. Ken asked"She is Inside sir" He led Dr Ken and assisted him in carrying the box containing mobile medical equipment. Mr. Blake was pestering Sheila to let them take her to the hospital but she didn't respond, he didn't want to annoy her because he saw Sheila's pain had not healed. To be candid, it's hard to grow up without their parents. Life was a living hell for Sheila, if she could remember what she had seen from her guidance, she might not forgive her parents. Sheila lived from friend to fa
Chapter 92Sheila opened her and appreciated Dr. Ken. "Thank you, sir," she said"I didn't come here for your wedding, why would it be for sickness Sheila?" he asked"I can see that you took good care of Lucas very well, well done for that. when are inviting me to your wedding" he teasedLucas and Sheila's eyes met, and a faint smile spread across Sheila's face. No one knew about their fake relationships, why would Dr.Ken ask about marriage?, she believed Lucas and Dr. Ken might discuss her. No doubt, from the look on Lucas's face, she knew he loved her and might be interested in having a relationship with her. Dr. Ken stood up prepared to leave, she urged Sheila to take her drug accordingly and that she should rest. Sheila's mother appreciated the doctor for finding them worthy. Lucas's phone beeped, he received a text message from Mr. Mayor. As he glanced at his phone, he winced, biting his lip upon seeing the message. Aware that he couldn't leave with Sheila being unwell, he co
Chapter 93.Lucas didn't like talking about Sheila behind her back or telling anyone what happened between them but Fabian never stopped pestering him because of the messages he sent him, he split the beans and told him that Sheila was sick and she had been taken care of.Immediately Lucas alighted from the car, someone grabbed him from the back, he turned to see who the person was and he saw Madam Cinderella, anger surged in him not only for being grabbed but also by the person that looked abnormal. "Why would this woman use her filthy hand to touch him? " he cursed Madam Cinderella quickly knelt, she had lost a lot of weight. her complexion lacked any hue, her lips exhibited faint cracks, revealing dryness, and her face had turned pale and said "Have mercy on me, I know I made a mistake that day, you are the reason why I'm like this"Lucas muttered and said, "Is this what Mr Mayor invited me for? Why do I have to be in his mess?" He gritted his teeth in anger and wanted to walk awa
Chapter 94"King Marcus is one of the most powerful figures in this country, he is the head of Baxure Cooperation, his Cooperative used to lead until my company emerged as the first last year and this caused a rift between us. He threatened that my cooperation would go into extinction, I thought it was just a mere threat until everything began to crumble in my eyes." he felt sober as he explained "Marcus will find you," Mr. Mayor said. Lucas chuckled after listening to Mr. Mayor, he didn't know he was experienced. Mr. Mayor underrated him because he had not heard of him and his business he thought he was just an ordinary person that King Marcus could get easily. Mr Mayor was surprised that everything he said about King Marcus did not affect his demeanour, he looked at Lucas as if he didn't understand him and wanted to say another thing before Lucas cut in and said "I know him, I just wanted you to tell me more about him. I have worked for him and I know how powerful he is" he retor
Chapter 95Furrowed brows and clenched jaw softened into a forced smile as he turned to respond to Madam Cinderella, masking his initial anger.His mind was still on what he saw on his phone."Why would he text him for a simple thing, this shows his level of incompetence" he muttered silently Mr. Mayor appreciated Lucas for his contribution to settling the rift between his wife and asked for his permission. They continued their discussion because he noticed that Lucas's demeanour had changed as he fixed his gaze on his phone. Lucas let out a faint smile and dropped his phone beside him, he told Mr. Mayor to continue their discussion about King Marcus. Mr. Mayor sighed and said "I don't know the level of information you have about King Marcus, but you must be careful and be ready before he gets you, the last person who showed interest in assisting me was dropped by his men." he eyes beamed with fear as he said this and pushed for a while. Lucas was still unshaken by all he said, it
Chapter 96Fabian focused his attention on the car he was driving, he did not know what had transpired between his friend and Mr. Mayor, and he didn't want to add fuel to the burning fire with his question, he knew Luacs would speak up when he was tired. Lucas clenched his hand on the phone and said "How could he send me this silly text? He is just a useless man" he cursed as he gazed at his phoneSean had texted him when he was with Mr. Mayor, he messaged him that all the billboards he posted on the advert for the blockbuster movie had been dismantled together with all the posters they posted on them. The part that got Luxas angry was when he ended his text with what to do next. Why would someone who had managed a company for 10 good years not know what to do when this kind of thing happened? He told Fabian about the text and Fabian showed his disappointment in Lucas for getting angry over little things. "Do you mean that thing is little?" he asked gritting his teeth"Sure, it is
